Why Cheap Art?- 05.27.08

Pinned up in the bathroom of the log cabin… “the WHY CHEAP ART? manifesto” - from the Bread & Puppet Glover, Vermont in 1984… this nice little manifesto speaks for itself! I must say, parts of this remind me of the Target rants on design… and if this is the manifesto for cheap art, what would one for design look like? See a larger image on the next page…

The second half of that manifesto was later comissioned by a beloved theater director and painted, by the students, on the wall of Woodstock, VT high school arts wing. I always loved the sentiment and glad to see it still being passed around.
